Which plan to pickA single business should weigh US$129 a month against the AI matching already built into Xero or QuickBooks. Bookkeeping firms should ask for the firm pricing, which is set per firm and adds multi-client management.Pricing is by quote. Start with the module that solves your biggest problem (usually talent acquisition), and ask for the bias audit results and how candidate scores are disclosed.Pricing is by quote. Decide up front whether you want AI scoring or only recorded interviews for humans to review, since that changes both the price and your legal obligations.
